DINE WITH DOS HERMANOS

A hugely enjoyable DINE WITH DOS HERMANOS supper last night at Tayyabs with eighteen of us being very well looked after despite it being as busy as I can ever recall.

Even though few of us had ever met before everyone seemed to get on splendidly and, even though it was the blessed internet which brought us together, me and HP were delighted to see that none of you seemed to be axe wielding crazies.

The food was as great as ever, thanks to Fahro Malik for ordering with her usual aplomb. If I seemed less enthusiastic about the lamb chops, limiting myself to the four, it is not because they were in any way under par, more that I had indulged myself with an unfeasibly large Barnsley Chop from Hawksmoor at lunchtime. Lamb on lamb action, it's a winning combination.

Next time it will be a suckling pig at St John, where I hope those of you lucky enough to have won DOS HERMANOS T-shirts will have the decency to wear them with pride.

What The Papers Say

"If sites were shops egullet would be Selfridges, a massive department store trying to cater to all tastes. Sometimes, though, I want a boutique operation. Top of these is Dos Hermanos, the blog of the two half-Bengali half-Welsh Majumdar brothers, who eat out more than is strictly necessary and write very well about it." Jay Rayner (Guardian)
